As Jason Keeler's gift to me and the others in his wedding party last year, we went to a K-State game together. It was a ton of fun, so we decided to do it again this year. One of the few things I can be thankful to Ron Prince for was an upgrade to our schedule, so we have a home-and-home series last year and this year with the University of Miami Hurricanes, who although they're not what they once were, are still part of college football royalty. We beat them last year in Coral Gables, so this year the game's in Manhattan, and that's the game we chose to attend.
It was a beautiful day, and Jason, Nick, Tony, and I left KC at 6:45am to make our way to Manhattan. We had a little bit of time to tailgate before the early kickoff, and fortunately Joanna and Kirk were able to stop by on their way into the stadium. The game itself was good, though not all that exciting, but in the best way possible. We got off to an early lead, and cruised to a 52-13 victory with Collin Klein leading the way, and with a bonus preview of the future as Daniel Sams blazed his way to a couple touchdowns. And as always, Bill Snyder is a genius. We ate at a great Jamaican restaurant, Little Grill, after the game, and then drove home. It was a lot of fun, and it's probably something we'll try to do every year going forward.
